MX48 Hospitals

Listen as six people share they thoughts about hospitals.

Al, EnglandNo, I'm not afraid of hospitals. I haven't spent much time in hospital cause I've been fairly healthy in my life so. I think there is something quite weird and interesting about hospitals, so I shouldn't say that. That might be bad luck, but no I'm not afraid of hospitals.

Mitchell, The United StatesI am not afraid of hospitals, but at the same time I'm also afraid of hospitals because I tend to think that there's a lot of viruses in hospitals since everyone who is sick tends to go to hospitals and coughs and gets well at the hospital but in general I'm not afraid of hospitals. It's a place where you recover from injuries and relax and get well.

Keiko, JapanYes, I am afraid of hospital. Every time I go there, I never had good news obviously. Every time I felt something is wrong I go to doctor and the doctor and the doctor does tell me there is something wrong with me so I don't like going to the hospital. I don't like hospitals.

Tres, The United StatesI am not at all afraid of hospitals and I don't know why anyone would be afraid. Maybe if they contractedsome disease while, I don't know, getting their tonsils taken out or something but hospitals are great. I love them. My sister was asthmatic growing up so I spent a lot of time in hospitals playing with the doctors and the nurses. I had a great time.

Simon, CanadaAm I scared of hospitals? Sure I am because they're usually bit ugly buildings that are sterile. There's lots of sick people in them. There's probably a lot of pain in hospitals. Some hospitals aren't so technologically up-to-date so that's scary as well. There's more to say, but that's it for now.

Ruth, EnglandAfraid of hospitals! My friends would really laugh if they heard this question. I think I'm one of the very few people who absolutely loves hospitals. I had to go for an operation about four months ago and I was so excited because I had never been in hospital before and it was just the most exciting experience. I really like hospitals and that hospital smell. I don't know, there is something about it. It reassures me. I quite like it.
